Awards and reviews

January 2010

For the most part the performances are pleasing, though Maria Jonas is more persuasive in her mezzo range than in higher registers. Her 'Erbarme dich' (Cantata 5) - the text is secular - is beautifully sung. Klaus Mertens is faultless in his declamation and sensitive to every nuance in Telemann's music.
